Question

1. The area of a trapezium of altitude 3 m is 12 m. If one of the parallel sides is 2
m more than the other, then find the lengths of parallel sides of the trapezium.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let parallel side x and x+2

use formula for area

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (x + x + 2) = 12 \\ \implies \: x = 3$

so sides are 3 and 5
